John Frank Rieley III (November 24, 1942 – April 17, 2015) was an American record producer.
He was the manager of the Beach Boys during the early 1970s, and is credited with guiding them back to acclaim.
He would also sometimes act as a co-songwriter with the rest of the band, usually penning lyrics.Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he was described by New Statesman as "a radio DJ turned career mentor." Although there are many books and articles about the Beach Boys, Rieley was rarely interviewed before November 2007 when he was interviewed by Flasher.com in relation to the documentary Dennis Wilson Forever.
The first seems to have been in summer 1982, for the UK fanzine Beach Boys Stomp.
